“Kids lie a lot,” responded Coriell, the principal. “They lie about all kinds of things. They blow lots of things out of proportion on a daily basis. In 17 years, they do it all the time. So to my knowledge, at 2 o’clock when I checked again, there were no pictures.”
All involved who dismissed it need to be removed from their positions at the very least. Especially the principal and superintendent who have that ridiculous zero tolerance brain. Any board member with sense is at least silently supportive of the thrashing she gave as the only logical response left to her. Why are school admin so disgusting across the whole country?
children have their personhood removed; women have their personhood removed. it’s gotta be awful to be a teenage girl
Can confirm, it utterly sucks to be a young girl, I was one. No one ever believes you about anything unless you’re confirming what they already believed. And Catholic Church authorities are even worse than secular ones.
not to go all foucault here but schools are prisons
I believe it takes some kind of disgusting hands-off approach to last as a teacher without any “bad” or controversial records of you. I also imagine those same teachers are the ones who never confronted such issues or treated it with the bare minimum in order to be rid of it as soon as possible, leading to a pool of admins who are all entirely wretched
Though my view is entirely vibes-based, I don’t have empirical evidence
I couldn’t even do substitute teaching after a certain point because of how school faculty is just garbage.
This is just child endangerment. Any excuse like “but it’s toooo haaaaard!” or “I don’t believe it, so I won’t even investigate!” just further incriminate them in being criminally lazy at their jobs.
They have no right punishing her for kicking his ass. You decided to knee-jerk protect the bully, and when a victim has no other avenue, you even put the bully you were trying to protect in danger.
Their heads deserve to be dismissed from their position atop their shoulders.
